New Zealand Vs India | 3rd ODI | Vadodara | 4/12/10

[PB]

Kane

 

[Romali_rotti]

it was pitching outside leg
stop whining
why isn't sachin bowling? is he that bad?

Cause he is in South Africa

 

[PB]

I wonder, where his brother Undertaker is..

 

[TruSachFan]

Seriously though would have loved it if Munaf was picked instead of Umesh Yadav who hasn't done **** and is only in the team cause he bowls phaaast(whatever that means) for SAF tour.

 

[TruSachFan]

Hopefully, the KISS attack proves to be enough for SAF.

Khan + Ishant + Sreesanth + Singh

Who the heck is that ?

Khan + Ishant + Sreesanth + Singh

Whatever happend to Irfan Pathan

 

[TruSachFan]

Who the heck is that ?

He bowls phaast for the Delhi Daredevils and he got rocked by Zimbabwe recently. All he does is run up and bowl. No seam movement, no swing, none at all.

 

[pun500]

Who the heck is that ?

probably our fastest bowler bowls at 140-145 consistently and is hit the deck bowler similar to ishant

 

[FastBowler]

Who the heck is that ?

an Indian..

 

[FastBowler]

probably our fastest bowler bowls at 140-145 consistently and is hit the deck bowler similar to ishant

) 140-145 thats the same thing said about munaf typical indian exaggeration

 

[TruSachFan]

probably our fastest bowler bowls at 140-145 consistently and is hit the deck bowler similar to ishant

Lol No he's not similar to Ishant. He doesn't even bowl fast. He bowls around 135-140 from whatever little I've seen of him. Ishant at least brings the ball in. Umesh Yadav doesn't do anything. He's like another VRV singh.

Ahhh another BUST !!!!!!!!!.. I also dont see why Zaheer is playing these useless games vs NZ risking injury when he shouldve been in SA with Kirsten & Co....

 

[TruSachFan]

Who the heck is that ?

Don't worry about that. Worry about the ass beating the GMEN will give to the dogkiller next week after we beat up on the deadskins. The texans roughed him up last night, and the likes of Umenioyra and Tuck should have fun with the dogkiller next week.

 

[Krishnan]

What has james franklin done to deserve a batting position ahead of vettori or mcullum or even hopkins

 

[TruSachFan]

Ahhh another BUST !!!!!!!!!.. I also dont see why Zaheer is playing these useless games vs NZ risking injury when he shouldve been in SA with Kirsten & Co....

It's actually pretty good. He needs the match practice. Everytime he comes back from an injury (that occurs every other series) he looks very short of match practice in the first match.

 

[FastBowler]

Ahhh another BUST !!!!!!!!!.. I also dont see why Zaheer is playing these useless games vs NZ risking injury when he shouldve been in SA with Kirsten & Co....

how are these games useless? these games are being played on pitches that the world cup will be played on
if anything the south africa series is needless

 

[TruSachFan]

This is a pretty unusual ODI pitch in India. Seam movement for the pacers and spin and bounce for spinners. Good to see

 

[FastBowler]

wide by munaf not given

 

[FastBowler]

lovely shot for a single through midwicket
great flow there

 

[FastBowler]

dropped! yusuf pathan.
indian fielding returns to normal.

 

[FastBowler]

single to franklin
playing very slowly but it will be worth it if he manages to last long enough to take the batting powerplay and capitalize on it

 

[FastBowler]

four to franklin swept from the leg stump behind square
two runs very nice drive through the offside
four more well swept through midwicket

 

[Romali_rotti]

Another wicket down

 

[Romali_rotti]

don't worry about that. Worry about the ass beating the gmen will give to the dogkiller next week after we beat up on the deadskins. The texans roughed him up last night, and the likes of umenioyra and tuck should have fun with the dogkiller next week.

he is similar to ishant in a way he hits the deck nothing else.

[jeetu]

nz 93/5 in27 overs

 

[pun500]

though he is very raw moves from one extreme to other in terms of speed line length accuracy etc but seems to have an x factor with him

 

[FastBowler]

what do you mean moves from one extreme to another in terms of speed? relatively?

 

[kashmiri_lad]

NewZealand 96/6...after 28....
Yusuf picks his first in this match..

 

[sazz]

lol another one gone, this time its hopkins.

 

[sazz]

Kiwis should try to bat as long as possible.

 

[gsivak]

This is getting boring now.

 

[TruSachFan]

This is getting boring now.

Unfortunately, the Ashes is even more boring at the moment especially with clueless Aussie bowling.

 

[sazz]

How about Kiwis declaring their innings?

 

[sazz]

Jaddu the "allrounder" comes to bowl.

 

[gsivak]

I think to make things interesting India should be given just 20 overs to chase the total.

 

[FastBowler]

good batting from franklin

 

[sazz]

On a serious note, can a team declare their innings in Limited Over Cricket?

 

[gsivak]

Unfortunately, the Ashes is even more boring at the moment especially with clueless Aussie bowling.

I know, I have been keeping an eye on both the matches. Australia is falling to pieces

 

[pun500]

what do you mean moves from one extreme to another in terms of speed? relatively?

not relatively bowls 130-132 one ball and 143 144 in the same over... he is kinda all over the shop with everything

but has the ability to hit 140+ consistently like he showed in a ranji game spell where he was seriously quick for 7-8 overs.

 

[jeetu]

121/7 now

 

[pun500]

we should open with pathan and ashwin no use in seeing the rest as most spots are pretty much decided in wc 15

 

[kashmiri_lad]

we should open with pathan and ashwin no use in seeing the rest as most spots are pretty much decided in wc 15

That ain't gonna happen ofcourse..
What I can see is,,,first 3 positions will be as usual..(Gauti, Vijay and Kohli),,after that they may try Yusuf....

 

[pun500]

i suggest this 15

confirmed

sachin
sehwag
gambhir
yuvraj
raina
dhoni
zak
nehra
pk
bhajji
kohli

border ones
ashwin
yusuf pathan
munaf/ishant
one batsmen

 

[pun500]

i know but thats just foolish

 

[kashmiri_lad]

i know but thats just foolish

But think from Gauti's perspective..
He is captaining for the first time..
He will first make sure that he wins the series..and then may try other stuff..
Also, we may see the shuffle in the batting order for the last 2 ODI's,
that is provided we win this one...

 

[pun500]

if u cant chase 220 odd against nz @ baroda better gv up the series

 

[Krishnan]

if u cant chase 220 odd against nz @ baroda better gv up the series

FYI again,this is not the usual vadodara stadium.This is the other one,which has been host to lot of low scoring first class matches.Its almost an india b side too.If india win today it means,nz are a very bad team now.If nz win i wont be surprised at all.

 

[kashmiri_lad]

NZ have pulled up the things a little...
At least they have a total to defend..at 115/7 they were done and dusted...

 

[Krishnan]

What has james franklin done to deserve a batting position ahead of vettori or mcullum or even hopkins "

got owned.and think its his first 50 in intnl cricket lol

 

[mastermind_quad]

225 to win ....

 

[kashmiri_lad]

So happy to see Gauti in form..
This is gonna help India in South Africa ....

 

[Krishnan]

consecutive 100's for gambhir

 

[kashmiri_lad]

India on course for a thumping win again...






Gauti scores another century..
160/1 India after 30.

 

[kashmiri_lad]

Kohli follows the celebrations with a

 

[cric_fan82]

Good stuff from gambhir! this what we needed before south africa , now he need to rest for the coming 2 games, so hes fit for the series

 

[sazz]

Kiwis getting thrashed by the Delhi duos.

 

[sazz]

Feel sorry for Kiwis.

 

[holldout]

India win with 10.4 overs remaining....... BONUS POINT...... Cheers!! lol

 

[sazz]

Great stuff, Kohli puttar finishing things off with a Six.

 

[sazz]
